Power Base Converter on a CDX?

[ubersaurus]

I just picked up a stack of Master System games, and now I have a few questions related to the Power Base Converter. I know that the PBC does work with the CDX, but I also know that it puts pressure on the power plug, which has the potential to damage a CDX. I'm not interested in physically altering my CDX or a PBC. Are there any other options short of putting my system at (albeit slight) risk?

I know Europe got a second PBC that was designed to fit in a Genesis 2. How does that fit in a CDX?

Just so long as you don't leave it in the machine when not in use, it's not too bad. I mean, my CDX was already jacked up when I got a PBC, but my friend has used a PBC in his for years with no ill effects.

You could probably just get a replacement plug from radio shack with a less large connector jutting out the back of the machine.
